[Poll] Anorexia and it's effect on the public
September 28, 2007 - 01:45 PM

There has been uproar in Milan over a billboard displaying an anorexic model. The billboard's purpose is to discourage anorexia and raise awareness about the disorder, BUT fashion and polotics rarely go together. All super-skinny girls have been banned from the cat walk in Milan and the fashion industry is wanting the billboard to be taken down. What effect is this billboard having on the public at this time? And what do u think of it? Check it out!

Well here in Toronto, I have seen some ads of anorexic girls and when I pass by I think to myself "I never want to look like that...EVER"
So by me walking by and noticing that ad then whoever was the photographer or whoever published the ad can go to sleep content and know that at least someone got the message.

But I think it depends on the ad, if it was a fashion ad, then it should be taken down but if it was an educational ad placed by the government or some sort of educational resource then I think it should stay up.

So in my opinion...it depends on the above...
